Dimash has an incredible voice with a range of 4.5 octaves. When I first listened to his singing, I was shocked on one hand (unbelievable! I couldn't imagine he had the same vocal range as the famous Farinelli) and on the other hand, I was so pleased that I had the opportunity to listen to him.

"Out in the city, in the cold world outside,
I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide."
As if he weren't so ill at the time when he recorded that!
The most spectacular voice there ever was. Freddie was incredible, and any song he sang was the result of Heaven coming down to Earth and embracing each and every soul that heard Freddie sing.
If it's not Michael Jackson, then it's certainly the Queen! That Dimash dude is not iconic yet! There's not one song he has recorded that is as iconic as Billie Jean or Bohemian Rhapsody.

John R.

He died of complications from diabetes in 2003. It was suggested that Cash's health worsened due to a broken heart over his second wife's death. I've never heard of the top 2, but neither could be more recognizable than Johnny Cash. He sang for nearly 50 years, dabbled in all genres of music at some point in his career. Still, anyone could tell it was him.
I have no idea who Dimash Kudaibergen is at the top of the list. I think to be most recognizable, people should know who it is and have heard them. To me, the Man in Black is tops here.
Johnny Cash has one of the best singing voices I've ever heard, a great country-rock singer. One of the most recognizable voices ever.
Boom chicka boom chicka boom chicka boom... I walk the line... Enough said.

Gorgeous, talented, and ahead of her time.
Endless talent and beauty.

He is a celebrated but controversial figure in the world of rock. This list is a complete, total, 100% joke. Axl Rose, my hero, one of the best music artists ever and a rock god, is not in the top 2, along with MJ. Yup, he's got the most easily recognizable voice ever. We all know it when we hear it, right?
If there is one artist whose voice I will never forget, it's Axl Rose. I have never heard anyone else with a voice as unique as his, making him very easy to distinguish.
I don't care for him, but I've never heard a singer that can go from singing a bass note to singing a high tenor instantly!
Totally agree with the personage. It's a true and honest opinion that I genuinely respect. Axl's voice is easily recognizable, but no one can sing in the same style as him, which makes him unique. He's my hero and savior, as he has supported me in choosing musicianship as one of my TGC subject choices. Also, I love his snake dance. But sorry, Axl, I have a crush of my own. 😁

John Anthony "Jack" White is an American singer and songwriter. He is best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the duo The White Stripes, but has also had success in other bands and as a solo artist. The most recognizable voice in music, other than Freddie Mercury, which is from a while ago. Cool art and icon in the modern age of sound. Good knack and talent you can listen to, lots to learn from, and kind.
Nobody can be more instantly recognized. White's voice is so different from anyone else in the industry. It's fantastic.
Amethyst Amelia Kelly, born June 7, 1990 known professionally as Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, and model.

Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent.
She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi.
Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award. Because her rapping is horrible.
Not in a good way, though.

Willie Hugh Nelson is an American musician, singer, songwriter, author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie, combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger and Stardust, made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music.
